Iris NK cticulata 
(Bulbous) 
This lovely species is one of the treasures of the garden or rock 
garden. It can be described as a small form of the Dutch Iris, or 
Spanish Iris. Its main value lies in the fact that it can be forced into 
bloom in the house with the greatest ease. Six or eight bulbs put into 
a 4- to 5-inch pot when received, will bloom about Christmas time. 
The fragrant blooms remind one of a bunch of fresh Violets. Perfectly 
hardy with reasonable protection. It is one of the loveliest early 
flowering bulbs for the rockery.

Iris 
English Chis 
(Bulbous) 
This magnificent mixture of bulbous English Iris has been developed at 
cur nurseries, and contains all the choicest varieties which can possibly be 
had in these fine Iris. The English Iris are a bulbous Iris which bloom in 
our latitude about the early part of July, and come after all other bulbous 
Iris. They should be planted as soon after receiving them as possible for 
best results. They prefer the more moist and heavier soils, and should 
have good drainage. The blooms of the English Iris are considered to be 
the finest of any in the Iris class, and each individual bloom is strikingly 
beautiful, and as cut flowers they are unsurpassed. We are offering them 
in a fine mixture of colors.
